Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Clear that this is not the view held by the rest of the community, though. Time for me to head out.

If anyone knows of a really high standard (really, just actual journalism) news sub - no click bait, highly factual low editorial submissions - I would be interested. Don't want to waste my life with speculative garbage like this posing as news.

I don't think it exists. What you're looking for, I get with actual paid subscriptions to actual news sites. It takes several to get the spread of viewpoints I like, and of course I like them because I chose them all, lol.

You want all that in a free sub. "No click bait, highly factual low editorial submissions," indeed.

For a free sub that works as a news aggregator, this community is great as-is: I very much appreciate the spread of articles as well as the time and interest people take to choose and post them. Of course some will be clunkers, but that's on me if I clicked on them. No one put a gun to your head either.

So if all this is beneath you like you say it is, then stop whining and start curating your own news feed with the news sources you like. It's not like you're actually posting any "no click bait, highly factual low editorial" articles yourself to lift the community as a whole.
